A Chekhovian gift for literary journalism
Either Asne Seierstad is seriously brave or seriously insane. In 2006, despite a ban on foreigners traveling without government sanction and escort to Chechnya, she disguised herself as a Chechen (which, for a Norwegian, involves dark hair dye and long, well-pinned scarves) and, with the help of friends, smuggled herself into the war-torn republic - one of the most dangerous war zones on Earth. ...

I thougth the ...

A glimpse of war
And I say a glimpse, because Asne is not allowed "before" the war to interview people or mingle much. She must go do tourist type activities and have a minder at all times. This was a great book, not as great as Bookseller in Kabul, but still readable and is eye opening.
